How Trimology Barbers Fights Ringworm & Protects Clients

At Trimology Barbers, we take hygiene and client safety seriously. With barbershops being a high-risk environment for fungal infections like ringworm (Tinea Barbae and Tinea Capitis), we have implemented strict hygiene protocols to ensure that our clients receive a clean, safe, and professional service every time.

Our Commitment to Hygiene & Safety

1. Sterilisation of Tools After Every Client
• All clippers, scissors, razors, combs, and brushes are sterilised after every use using:
✅ Barbicide disinfectant to kill bacteria and fungi.
✅ UV sterilizers for deep sanitation.
✅ Clipper spray with antifungal protection before and after each haircut.

2. Disposable & Fresh Equipment for Every Client
• One-use neck strips to prevent direct contact with barber capes.
• Freshly washed or disposable towels for each client.
• Single-use razor blades for shaving to prevent cross-contamination.
3. Strict Cape & Towel Hygiene
• No shared capes each client gets a freshly sanitised cape.
• Towels washed at high temperatures to eliminate fungal spores.

4. Barbers Wear Protective Gear
• Gloves worn when handling clients with visible skin conditions.
• Frequent hand washing & sanitiser use between clients.

5. Client Skin & Scalp Check Before Service
• We inspect clients’ scalps and beards before starting any service.
• If we notice signs of ringworm, infections, or other skin conditions, we politely advise clients to seek medical treatment before a haircut.

6. Clean Workstations & High-Touch Surfaces
• Barber chairs, countertops, and door handles are disinfected between clients.
• We use antifungal spray on seats and headrests to prevent contamination.

7. Educating Our Clients on Scalp & Beard Hygiene
• We provide aftercare tips to help clients keep their scalps and beards healthy.
• If you experience itching, redness, or circular patches on your scalp or beard, we recommend antifungal treatments and proper hygiene before your next visit.

Trimology’s Prevention Policy: No Compromise on Hygiene

We believe that a barbershop is more than just a place for haircuts—it’s a space for grooming, wellness, and trust. That’s why at Trimology, we go the extra mile to prevent infections like ringworm and ensure that every client leaves with not just a fresh cut, but also peace of mind.

Your health is our priority. If you have concerns about scalp or skin conditions, talk to our barbers—we are here to help!

Recognizing Early Signs of Ringworm – Protect Yourself and Your Clients! This image shows the early stages of a ringworm infection, a common but preventable fungal condition that can spread in barbershops through contaminated tools and close contact. While this case appears mild, untreated infections can worsen, causing discomfort and potential hair loss. Proper hygiene, tool sterilization, and skin checks are essential in maintaining a safe grooming environment. Stay informed and take preventive measures to keep your shop ringworm-free.
Barbicide is a disinfectant solution used in barbershops to sanitise combs, clippers, scissors, and other grooming tools. The blue liquid contains quaternary ammonium compounds, which effectively kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including those responsible for ringworm, staph infections, and other skin conditions.
What Barbicide Does:
• Disinfects tools by killing germs, fungi, and viruses.
• Prevents cross-contamination between clients.
• Maintains hygiene standards in barbershops.
• Prolongs the life of tools by keeping them clean and rust-free.
How to Use:
• For combs and scissors: Soak them in Barbicide for 10 minutes, then rinse and dry.
• For clipper blades: Spray with Barbicide Clippercide to disinfect and lubricate.
Regular use ensures a safe and professional environment, reducing the risk of infections like ringworm and folliculitis in clients.
A barber carefully disinfects his clippers using Clippercide, a powerful spray designed to clean, lubricate, and protect clipper blades. Holding the clippers at an angle, he sprays the solution directly onto the blades, allowing the formula to break down hair, dirt, and built-up oils. As the disinfectant penetrates, it eliminates bacteria, fungi, and viruses, preventing the spread of infections like ringworm and folliculitis. The lubricating properties also ensure smoother operation, reducing friction and extending the lifespan of the clippers. Maintaining this routine between clients is essential for a clean and professional barbershop environment.
